Hi, is the project still under development considering that protonmail has released its official client? Thank you

vladimiry commented 2 weeks ago

Yes, it's under development. Some updates available in the wip branch.

Currently, the official client, as far as I know, is an @electron wrapper for web client without addition features added. ElectronMail is also a wrapper, but comes with many custom features which aimed to enable enhanced desktop user experience. This situation, I believe, is going to change over time and the official client will be getting enchanted, which means at some point, when the official client fits my needs, ElectronMail project might retire.

A sort of blocker for releasing a new app version, is the fact that Proton stopped publishing source code of https://github.com/ProtonMail/WebClients since mid-April.
